Philippine flight finds no controllers in tower!!

While many travellers in the US, had a miserable time last few days, thanks to the winter storms, this story from AP takes the cake.

It is small solace, but I hope it at least brings a wry smile to some lips. Across the world in sunny Philippines, a Philippine Airlines airplane was stuck circling the Zamboanga airport, in southern Philippines, for some time before landing Friday, because air traffic controllers apparently still in a Christmas holiday mood were missing from the tower, and came in late for work!!!!!

Mabuhay everyone, and keep the cheer and the chin up.
